Patent Claims
18 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection. Each claim is shown in both the original legal language and a plain English translation.

Claim 1

Original Legal Text

1. A mobile terminal device, comprising: a bracket housed within the mobile terminal device, the bracket having a lower surface and at least one side wall; a main circuit spaced apart by a predetermined gap from the lower surface of the bracket; a receiver, provided at the other side of the bracket separated by a predetermined gap from the main circuit, comprising: a container shape defined by a portion of the lower surface of the bracket and the at least one side wall in which a circuit is wired within the bracket; a receiver mesh housed in an area in which a portion of a lower surface of the container shape is opened; a magnet mounted on an injection structure disposed in the container shape, the injection structure is molded at a periphery of the receiver mesh; a coil extended to face the magnet; and a diaphragm covers an upper portion of the receiver mesh and the magnet and the coil fixed to the diaphragm; and a contact portion extended from an internal circuit of the receiver such that the internal circuit of the receiver is electrically connected to the main circuit.

Plain English Translation

A mobile terminal device (e.g., phone) contains a bracket that houses internal components. A main circuit board is positioned above the bracket's bottom surface, leaving a gap. A receiver (speaker) is on the bracket's other side, also with a gap separating it from the main circuit board. The receiver has a container shape formed by the bracket's bottom and side walls, within which receiver circuitry is wired. A receiver mesh (likely a sound port) sits in an opening in the container's bottom. A magnet is attached to a molded plastic structure around the mesh. A diaphragm covers the mesh, magnet, and a coil is fixed to the diaphragm, positioned to interact with the magnet, converting electrical signals into sound. A contact connects the receiver's internal circuit to the main circuit board.

Claim 2

Original Legal Text

2. The mobile terminal device of claim 1 , wherein the contact portion comprises: a film extended to a bracket of a lower portion of the main circuit from at least one of the inside of the lower surface and the at least one side wall of the bracket of the receiver portion; and a finger contact portion connected between the film and the main circuit and that finger contacts with a pad opening portion of the main circuit.

Plain English Translation

The mobile terminal device's receiver contact to the main circuit board (as described in the previous claim) is achieved using a flexible film extending from the receiver's bracket (either the bottom or side walls) to the main circuit board's lower portion. A "finger contact portion" connects the film to the main circuit board, making physical contact with a designated pad area on the board. This establishes the electrical connection between the receiver and the main circuit board.

Claim 3

Original Legal Text

3. The mobile terminal device of claim 2 , wherein the film has a structure in which a first insulation layer, a conductive layer, and a second insulation layer are sequentially stacked on the bracket.

Plain English Translation

The flexible film used to connect the receiver to the main circuit board (as described in the previous claim) has a layered structure. It consists of a first insulating layer directly on the bracket, a conductive layer on top of that, and a second insulating layer on top of the conductive layer. This layered structure ensures electrical conductivity between the receiver and the main circuit board while preventing short circuits by insulating the conductive layer from the surrounding bracket and main circuit board.

Claim 4

Original Legal Text

4. A receiver of a mobile terminal device, the receiver comprising: a bracket having a lower surface and at least one side wall, the bracket comprising a first area having a container shape defined by a portion of the lower surface and the at least one side wall in which a portion of the lower surface is opened and a second area in which a main circuit board (PCB) is housed at the other side adjacent to the first area; a receiver mesh housed at the opened lower surface of the first area; an injection structure disposed in the container shape that exposes the receiver mesh; a magnet fixed on the injection structure and comprising a groove in a portion of an upper surface; a diaphragm fixed by a fixing point formed in an upper portion of the injection structure and that covers an upper portion of the magnet and the receiver mesh; a coil fixed to the diaphragm and extended to face the groove from the diaphragm; and a contact line extended from the inside of the first area of the bracket to the PCB and that electrically connects the PCB and an electric wire mounted within the bracket.

Plain English Translation

A receiver (speaker) for a mobile terminal device has a bracket with a bottom and side walls. The bracket has two sections: one forming a container shape with an opening in the bottom, and a second area adjacent to the first that houses the main circuit board. A receiver mesh is in the opening. A molded plastic structure supports a magnet which has a groove in its top surface. A diaphragm is fixed to the top of the molded structure covering the magnet and mesh. A coil, fixed to the diaphragm, faces the magnet's groove. A contact wire connects the wiring within the first section to the main circuit board, providing electrical connection.

Claim 5

Original Legal Text

5. The receiver of claim 4 , wherein the contact line is made of a conductive material connected from an electric wiring mounted within the bracket of the first area to a pad opening portion of the PCB.

Plain English Translation

The receiver's contact wire connecting the internal circuitry to the main circuit board (as described in the previous claim) is made of a conductive material. This wire extends from the electrical wiring inside the receiver's container-shaped section to a designated pad opening on the main circuit board. This ensures a direct and reliable electrical connection between the receiver's components and the main device circuitry.

Claim 6

Original Legal Text

6. The receiver of claim 4 , wherein the contact line comprises: a film extended from at least one of the inside of the lower surface and the at least one side wall of the bracket of the first area to a bracket of the second area; and a finger contact portion connected between the film and the PCB to finger contact with a pad opening portion of the PCB.

Plain English Translation

The receiver's contact wire linking the internal wiring to the main circuit board (as described in the previous claim) is constructed using a film and a "finger contact portion." The film stretches from either the bottom or side walls of the receiver's bracket to the bracket area holding the main circuit board. The "finger contact portion" then connects the film to the main circuit board, physically touching a pad opening on the board to make the electrical connection.

Claim 7

Original Legal Text

7. A mobile terminal device, comprising: a bracket housed within the mobile terminal device, the bracket having a lower surface and at least one side wall; a main circuit spaced apart by a predetermined gap from the lower surface of the bracket; an electric material provided at the other side of the bracket separated by a predetermined gap from the main circuit and mounted at a container-shaped inside of the bracket in which a circuit is wired at the inside; and a contact portion electrically connected to the electric material and that penetrates a hole formed at a side surface or a lower surface of the container-shaped inside of the bracket and that connects the main circuit and the electric material.

Plain English Translation

A mobile terminal device contains a bracket to house components. A main circuit board sits above the bracket's bottom surface, creating a gap. An electrical component (e.g., motor, camera) is on the bracket's other side, separated from the main circuit board by a gap, and is inside the bracket's container-shaped space where circuit wiring is present. A contact passes through a hole in the container's side or bottom, electrically linking the electrical component to the main circuit board.
